| Needle Point - Reviews |

 

"I have always loved Amsterdam and this excellent debut novel from Jenny Roberts reminded me why. Like the city itself, it is a tantalising mix of passions and excitement. Needle Point is full of underlying danger, interspersed with a tongue-in-cheek wit that spills onto the pages - and one of the best finales I have ever come across." Alma Fritchley (Chicken Run, Chicken Feed, etc)

"A pacey, energetic thriller told in a crisp, direct style with an understanding of locations that gives a solid, authentic feel. Jenny Roberts avoids the usual stereotypes: none of the good guys are super good, whilst the bad guys are convincingly bad." Manda Scott (Boudica)

"...deserves to be read by more than a niche market. Cameron has the short hair and the big Harley-Davidson of a dyke the straight world would recognise. When she can’t get over her sister’s mysterious death in Amsterdam, she sets off to conduct her own investigation... this is an excellently paced, well-plotted thriller." The Guardian

"... a fast moving tale of revenge and retribution." Ottilie Godfrey, Time Out

"...I read about three-quarters of the book without putting it down.... I found it completely enthralling." Amy Lamé (on BBC London Live)
